I WANT TO START RUNNING , BUT I FIND IT BORING AND DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START..... Here are my top 6 tips to get me started and stay motivated. 1. Music/ Podcast - A good playlist is sure to get me hyped up and energised to start. I love listening to my favourite jams when I’m getting ready and by the time I’m fully dressed I’ve danced my way into a good mood. 2. Support - On days I feel down or unmotivated I reach out to my support system to join me on my run. This is could be a friend or a family member. I set days where I run with my siblings to bond, connect and spend time together and I love reaching PB when my brothers challenge me to a race. I also love using @nikerunning guided runs, it really feels like the coach is right there with you! The support is incredible from beginning to the end, you will be surprised how quickly you can reach your goal with the right guidance and push. 3. Walk, Jog, run - Just start! If you’re thinking about running you’re halfway there. Once I start walking, I will warm up and encourage myself to a light jog back home and before you know it you’re running. 4. Route - I switch up my running route everyday depending on my mood and the run scheduled. If I’m after a short run going to the oval or a running track near by is great, Easy and accessible! But, my favourite once are the runs where I discover new tracks and get lost in nature ⛰ 5. Gear - Ok, let’s face it. Wearing something new instantly gives you a sense of confidence and action. Having the right pair of running shoes is a game changer. It’s so Important to have a shoe that not only elevates performance but supports you and prevents injury. I’m a huge fan of Nike Pegasus collection. I’m currently training in the Pegasus 39s. 6. Reward - The best feeling ever is doing what you thought you couldn’t do! Getting out for that run (cold,rain , hail or shine), reaching your PB/goal, over coming challenges and most importantly the joy you feel once you’ve found your rhythm. There’s no feeling like it! 🏃🏿‍♀️ @nike @nikerunning #teamnike
